Top Four Advantages of Buss Bar 2013-01-31

When it comes to the buss bar, it is one of
electrical appliances that can transmit power energy and collect as well as
distribute the electricity. Generally speaking, the bussbar is often made from
aluminum material and copper bar that enjoys high conductivity. Nowadays, it
has been the main guide wire of power station or converting station. Based on
such a basbar, the electric energy output from electric generator, transformer
and rectifier can be delivered to every user and other electric power
substations. Then, here comes a question. What advantages does basbar have when
compared with traditional electric cables? The following will give detailed
explanation on such a question.

Higher performance comes very first. The
adopted aluminum bar or copper bar has big electric current density, small
electric resistance and low surface action. Therefore, it doesn't need to
reduce the volume. Meanwhile, the low electric voltage means the low energy
consumption, which can save investment of users. However, the traditional
cables would like to turn to multi-strand thin copper wires, whose strand area
is much bigger than buss bars. As the result, the skin effect is quite serious,
which decreases the rate electric current value and increases the voltage drop.
Then, the energy loss of wire is quite huge and the wire itself is easy to be
ageing.

Better security is the second aspect. The
metal enclosed case of bus duct can prevent bus bar from machinery injury. In
the power-distribution system, the adopted plug-in unit installation also
improves the usage safety. At the same time, the casing can realize the whole
ground connection and such a form is quite reliable. Nevertheless, the power
source should be cut off when installing the traditional cables. Once the
installation mistake happens, the result is unbearable to contemplate.

More optimized circuit is also worth to
mention. Based on the bus duct, some circuit branches can be merged and
transformed it into a big bus duct relying on jack box. Such a channel can
simplify the electrical system and save the engineering construction cost. When
it comes to the traditional cable, it will make the electrical system more
complicated, bulky and difficult to maintain. Thus, the engineering cost and
installation space have been wasted.

Larger expandability means higher
utilization rate. The system expandability of bus bar can be realized by adding
or changing some parts of circuits. However, traditional cables cannot be made
use of again because of different lengths and circuits. The only way to expand
the system of tradition cable is to replace the old one.
